His exact words were "you know you don't have to read that book the second it comes out, right?" but that's the same thing

It's tax day in the US, which means you also have to pay your pet taxes! I don't make the rules; I'm just your local accountant. Of course being a tax-paying Boundling, I have to pay my taxes too, so here are my cats!

hello fellow bookworms! while we clearly all enjoy reading now, did you enjoy reading as a kid for school? did you read all of the books assigned to you, or were you a sparknotes and prayer kind of person when it came to tests? what was your favorite and or least favorite book you read for school?

for me, i always read the books assigned in grade and high school because i liked reading and am a pretty fast reader. however i did read half of Frankenstein at 3 am in the bathroom the night before it was due when i was 13 (#ADHD). college was a bit of a different story, again thank you ADHD, but i at least tried to skim or read some of everything because i hated going to class unprepared. not sure if i could pick a favorite, but man do i remember hating Tuck Everlasting. couldn’t tell you why, but i think i dnf’d the last chapter out of spite.

love to all, thanks for all the fun discussions! 🥰🥰

From the top of my 🗻 hill, with my last dying breath, I shout “Floppy little paperbacks are a superior to hardbound editions in every way!”

And “Keep your filthy movie/tv adaptation covers off my books! The OG cover is ALWAYS better than whatever capitalistic Hollywood veneer they slap on the front!”

👉🏻 All right, tag, your it!

Silly, serious, unhinged. Let’s hear them all! 📢

Time to show off those big, beautiful brains, Boundlings with this week's Tuesday Trivia & Tidbits!! What did your books this week teach you about yourself, science, history, or anything else you found interesting?

My tidbit from this week - I really like metafiction, but I love metafiction if it's dark or "weird".

For some trivia - I technically "learned" a lot of historical trivia from Sudden Death, but that entire book was a fever dream and I'm honestly not sure what was real versus fictional... Hahaha

How about you?
